CHICO — The results of a survey by local high school students show local youth encounter numerous outlets where alcohol is sold during daily routines such as walking to school, eating lunch and shopping.

The students, members of Friday Night Live, also said the number of alcohol retailers in an area has a direct correlation to the number of alcohol-related arrests.

The Butte County Department of Public Health and Butte Youth Now released the findings at a public meeting Wednesday night.

The students intend to present their research to Chico government leaders, along with a recommendation that the city review its policies on alcohol outlet density and promotions.

Death-row chaplain to speak

CHICO — A former prison chaplain who worked with death-row inmates for many years will speak Sunday in Chico.

The Rev. Carroll Pickett will speak at 6:30 p.m. in the Bell Memorial Union Auditorium at Chico State University. Admission is $2 for students and $10 for non-students.

Pickett has written the book “Within These Walls,” about his time at the prison in Huntsville, Texas. He now speaks all over the country, sharing his unique perspective on the death penalty and criminal justice system.

Appearing with him will be Greg Wilhoit, who spent eight years on death row before being proven innocent, and Natasha Minsker, an ACLU organizer who is working to get the death penalty abolished in California.

A film about Pickett will be shown at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Pageant Theater. Admission is free.

The events are sponsored by the Chico chapter of the ACLU and other organizations.
